Comprehensive infrastructure & application monitor

What differentiates SolarWinds AppOptics from other similar products?

AppOptics stands out with its combined infrastructure and application monitoring approach at a reasonable price point. Unlike some competitors that charge separately for different monitoring types, AppOptics includes both in one package. Their integration with other SolarWinds products is seamless, which is great if you're already in their ecosystem.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The best thing about AppOptics is its straightforward pricing model and ease of getting started. The out-of-the-box monitoring templates are really useful, and the ability to quickly set up monitoring for cloud services like AWS is a time-saver. The alerting system is also quite flexible and reliable.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The user interface feels less polished compared to newer monitoring solutions. Sometimes navigating between different features can be unintuitive, and the dashboard creation process could be more flexible.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I'd recommend starting with their free trial to test the integration with your stack. Take time to plan your tagging strategy early on - it'll make everything easier later. It's particularly good for teams already using other SolarWinds products or those looking for a cost-effective solution.

Pros

Trustworthy
Client Friendly Policies

For APM, AppOptics has been an essential tool

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates SolarWinds AppOptics from other similar products?

With AppOptics, we can track and evaluate every aspect of our architecture, and the core product performs exceptionally well.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like that the user interface is exceptionally easy to use without compromising the ability to delve into the inner workings of our server environment, and the alert and self-healing mechanisms have proven to be really useful.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I would prefer the cloud version not truncate queries, but I found that the time period is not always stored in memory and the metric details you provided were really helpful.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Because we can immediately see when something is about to fail or when a query is getting out of hand, AppOptics has proven to be an essential tool for mitigating production issues in real time.

Pros

Continually Improving Product
Reliable
Effective Service
